ICITS 2015 - 8th International Conference on Information-Theoretic Security

8th International Conference on Information-Theoretic Security (ICITS)
May 2-5, 2015, Lugano, Switzerland
ICITS is a conference about all aspects of information-theoretic security and brings together the leading researchers in the areas of cryptography, information theory and quantum information. It is the successor conference to the 2005 IEEE Information-Theory Workshop on Theory and Practice in Information-Theoretic Security (ITW 2005) on Awaji Island, Japan. Previous ICITS conferences were held in:
ICITS 2013 in Singapore.
ICITS 2012 in Montreal, Canada.
ICITS 2011 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
ICITS 2009 in Shizuoka, Japan,
ICITS 2008 in Calgary, Canada,
ICITS 2007 in Madrid, Spain,
ICITS 2015 will be held from May 2 to 5, and it takes place at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland.
Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
Physical layer security
Multiparty computation
Codes, lattices, & cryptography
Authentication codes
Randomness extraction
Cryptography from noisy channels
Wiretap channels
Bounded-storage models
Information-theoretic reductions
Quantum cryptography
Quantum information theory
Nonlocality and nonsignaling
Key and message rates
